Well, my disk drive seems to be working fine now. I have the C-Ltd interface, an Adaptek 4070 controller and a Seagate 277R. I will probably never know exactly what the problem was. After improving the grounding and replacing the pals I still had problems. I ran a monitor program and saw that there were over 10,000 interrupts/sec when the computer would seem to hang. I took the C-Ltd interface and cleaned up some possible solder bridges, removed what may have been fine wires from the connector (or dust), and reseated the chips. All is well now. The C-Ltd controller and your software have my highest praises. There are a lot of undocumented commands in the C directory. Know where I can find out about them, other than calling C-Ltd and bugging them? Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, John
